Senior🎓
Top SchoolSerge Bignens is a seasoned eHealth and software leader with over 30 years of technical and strategic experience, currently Co-Lead of the Institute Patient-centered Digital Health at Berner Fachhochschule BFH. He blends hands-on software engineering roots from EPFL and Carnegie Mellon with senior roles in consulting, public health, and industry—shaping eHealth strategy for the Canton of Vaud and product partnerships at Swiss Post. As a professor and former head of BFH’s Institute for Medical Informatics, he directs applied research, teaches medical informatics, and coaches industry-facing student projects. He co-founded MIDATA.coop and chairs its board, advocating citizen-controlled health data and practical data fiduciary models. Active across many national boards and working groups, he is a bridge-builder between clinicians, technologists and policy-makers who consistently turns complex healthcare requirements into usable, scalable digital services. Less obvious: his career combines deep product delivery experience with governance roles that influence Switzerland’s national eHealth ecosystem.
